Apple owns none of its on fabs, manufacturing, or component plants. So everything they do is OFF THEIR BOOKS, and the toxins released by their manufacturing never show up in their accounting, the pollution from circuit board etchings, case manufacture, wave soldiering, acid baths, etc, etc, all disappear.

Further they ship virtually all of this manufacturing (and the associated jobs) to places where the government doesn't even have strict toxic materials laws, does not keep records, and doesn't want to talk about work place contamination, and people are pretty much expendable.

All of that makes Apple look green enough that they get a pass for building a environmental nightmare all-glass buildings with R1 walls and ignore summer cooling, and winter heating loads.

This is political posturing at its best.
